Thank you so much for writing for me!


I am
into: Worldbuilding, settings, adventures, neat ideas, engagement with canon, complication of canon (including making antagonists sympathetic).
not-so-into: Darkness for darkness's sake, realistic violence (including sexual violence)

Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here - Schoolhouse Rock (Music Video)

"You can paint it very neatly or rather sloppily"

What's the adverb business like these days? Do they have competitors? Have they needed to modernize?

Pictures Of Matchstick Men - Camper Van Beethoven (Song)

"You're in the sky, you're with the sky"

What's happening in this song? Who are the matchstick men? What accounts for "your" presence everywhere? Is it strong emotion, or something stranger?

Save the Bones for Henry Jones - Johnny Mercer and the King Cole Trio (Song)

"He don't need a napkin 'cause the things he eats don't drip! Blip!"

Lots of people don't eat meat, but they don't eat bones. So what is up with Brother Henry? What sort of "vegetarian" is he? (And who is his mother?)

Three Might Be Duende - They Might Be Giants (Song)

"No diorama could match his drama"

Who are these characters? Are they allegorical figures? Supernatural beings? What are they up to?

Tuesday's Dead - Cat Stevens (Song)

"I'm only the underline of the word"

What does it mean for Tuesday to be dead? Is there a specific allegorical or mythical background for the song's philosophizing? How literal is the last verse?
